Suffolk on their travels once more arrived at County Arts in Norwich for their fourth game having won the previous three in convincing style. This was always billed as a must win and all the travelling supporters were not disappointed. After 5 ends Suffolk were 5 up but dropped to 2 behind after 10. However Suffolk picked up the pace quickly after that and by 15 ends were + 7 with the final result. Norfolk - 88 Suffolk - 112 Points: Norfolk - 3 Suffolk - 17 Winning rink this

Suffolk’s bright young female bowlers travelled to Dunmow, Essex, today for the Amy Rose Regional Qualifiers and produced a series of outstanding performances, narrowly missing out on qualification for the national finals at Leamington by just six shots. The competition suffered two late withdrawals. Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire were unable to field a team of five and withdrew earlier in the week, while Norfolk pulled out late on Friday evening due to illness and player

Suffolk off to perfect start in Middleton Cup A maximum six rink win at Girton, Cambridgeshire, sees Suffolk top the group with 22 points and a plus sixty shot aggregate, writes Team Manager, John Rednall.

After five ends, Suffolk had unbelievably sprinted to a thirty-eight shot lead which was further extended to forty-seven after ten ends and sixty s

Suffolk Ladies travelled to County Arts BC to play Norfolk on Saturday, knowing this is always a hard fought game whenever the two counties play each other. Norfolk were obviously looking to revenge their defeat from last year at Haughley. Suffolk started strongly and after 5 ends were 6 shots ahead, the game continued to be very close with Lucy Ratcliffe’s rink coming right back at their opposition, and on the 16th end there was still only 2 shots difference overall. The Gre

I have pleasure in announcing the team for our first Middleton Cup fixture, away to Cambridgeshire. The match will start at 11.00am and the venue is Girton Bowling Club, Wellbrook Way, Girton, Cambridge CB3 0FW Last season, we beat Cambridgeshire soundly, defeated our near neighbours Norfolk and only narrowly lost to Essex on their own green.

Suffolk’s first away game of the 2026 season was at Potton BC, a change from the original venue caused by a local music festival clashing with this match.

After the usual pleasantries, the rink score cards were handed out and the match began. The opening quarter was fairly even with Suffolk holding a one shot lead after five ends then, ever so gradu
